Two Islands, Many Voices – Futurescaping Trans-National Clinical Research

In 2026, Ireland marks the 100‑year anniversary of its first independent census—a century of change that mirrors the evolution of clinical research across the island.

There is no better moment or location to celebrate the vibrant, growing network of CRFs across Ireland, Northern Ireland and the UK. Dublin, with its unique position as a bridge between the UK, the EU and global partners, offers the perfect backdrop—especially as Ireland holds the EU Presidency in 2026.

This year’s conference will shine a spotlight on our diverse, cohesive research landscape north and south of the border, showcasing the diversity of research across our CRFs, and exploring the emerging opportunities in digital health, data sharing and innovation.

As the global landscape continues to evolve, the conference reaffirms our shared commitment to cross‑border collaboration as the driving force behind equitable access to research‑as‑care, robust evidence generation, and a resilient future for clinical research.
